The brain functions through association and converts language, thoughts and feelings into images. This is happening whether you are consciously aware of it or not. Mind Mapping aligns with this natural tendency.
Writing
lists often triggers a conditioned response to put the most important
things on top of the list which slows down creativity.
Mind Mapping will free your mind from this “prioritizing”
and expand your possibility thinking.
Begin your creative brainstorming positioning your main theme at the center of the page and radiate your thoughts outward. As you note related themes, connect them with additional lines.
This
is done free-hand with pens, pencils and even crayons
if you’d like. Add color, doodles and drawing to stimulate
greater creativity.
